  • [Immersive] AI Knowledge Pass – launched. Immersive launched its AI Knowledge Pass system that only allows access to AI tools once employees have passed readiness assessments.

  • [AegisAI] Red Team Agent. AegisAI’s Red Team Agent uses attacker tradecraft approaches to assess whether employees fall for AI-crafted phishing lures. Most phishing awareness tools send templates. They reuse a handful of lures, rotate the subject lines, and report a click rate. Employees learn to recognize the template, the click rate drops, and everyone feels safer. The attacker is not using the template. The attacker is using an agent that writes a fresh, personalized lure for each target, drawn from live public information. A test built on recognition measures whether your people can spot something they have seen before. It does not measure what happens when they see something they have not. To know your real exposure, the test has to be as capable as the threat. AegisAI
